I have a proper sewing box, faux white wicker (plastic), with a padded top, and pincushion inside the lid, which I've had since I was at secondary school and had to have one for sewing. However, I practically never actually do any sewing, as I'm so bad at it.

LL Sounds lovely though.I have my grandmother's footstool, which opens up, and has a lift-out tray for cotton reels, and everything else underneath, And one of those 'twee' ones, and several old biscuit and sweetie tins.

at the moment,it's mostly in a large hand built ottoman, in the conservatory, coz my house is all at sixes (not sexes)and sevens, but usually it's in the box room in a tall boy that's a piece of furniture,not a person btw!
